The JADC2 Demonstration Event

In early 2019, the Air Force Vice Chief of Staff announced Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) was a top priority for the USAF. In April 2019, AFWERX held a workshop with 130+ participants from across the DoD, allied forces, industry, and academia. The output of this workshop was an AFWERX Challenge that was advertised globally, resulting in a record 317 solutions submitted. Over 80 subject matter experts from DoD evaluated these submissions, of which 102 were selected to attend the AFWERX Fusion / MDO Showcase held July 2019 in Las Vegas. At this event over 100+ DoD expert evaluators selected the top 30 teams to proceed to the next phase, the MDO Demonstration Event.

Previously known as MDO, this event has now been rebranded to JADC2 (Joint All-Domain Command & Control).

Evaluators for this prototyping demonstration event include government contracting personnel, end users, technical experts, DoD tech scouts, and leadership.

Technology categories for the selected solutions include:

Access to disparate data sources, APIs and integration
Prepare, analyze and validate information
Data visualization/presentation, decision support and AI/ML/software enabled automation
Real time communication, multi-level security, data caching and storage
Complete MDO Solution

Format of the event:

The event will be broken up over two weeks. Demonstrations will be held via WebEx.

During the weeks of June 15 and June 22, we will be hosting three-hour sessions where each team will have one hour to present (40 mins to demonstrate their capability and 20 minutes for Q&A). These sessions will take place Monday, Wednesday, and Friday between the hours of 0900 and 1300 PDT.

Of the 30 teams, 24 have agreed to do a virtual demonstration of their technology.

Schedules will be distributed to registered attendees via email.

Thank you for your continued support of AFWERX and we look forward to seeing you at the event!
